Also, during the period 20/21 February 2026, police officers across the entire territory of the country deprived 11 persons of liberty, nine of whom for driving without a driving license, and two for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Drivers from Tetovo, Kavadarci, Skopje, Dojran, Gevgelija and Struga were found operating vehicles without possessing a driving license, while the driver from Gevgelija was also operating a vehicle after the registration had expired. Two drivers from Kochani were driving under the influence of alcohol, with measured alcohol levels of 1.83 and 2.91 per mille.
